Thank you. The party which loves democracy ran a fixed game and now they are stuck with a candidate they knew was unfit from the door. . br]br] The irony is delicious. When has either party primaried their incumbent candidate? Also up until Trump came on the scene, Republicans spoke of their love of democracy as well but now power is their only love Go easy. He and his cult don't play well with reality.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but I can't help but wonder if the attacks on Usha Vance aren't part of the plan. Now Trump can say look, I'm no crony of Nick Fuentes and his ilk, he's a bad guy. Ah, yes. The time tested and utterly ridiculous, I have a friend that's a person of color, defense.

Hasn't this been the case for quite a long time? It's just ginning up racism to get votes based in nothing but hatred, fear and stupidity. It was never a crime, stealing jobs, or voting issue. That's part of why it's so baffling and infuriating. Those rationalizations have been and continue to be objectively false and dumb.

For a brief moment last night, Americans saw Donald Trump try something new: stick to a script. Addressing delegates at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, the former president—and freshly anointed Republican nominee—read slowly and dramatically from a teleprompter as he recounted his near-death experience in Butler, Pennsylvania. The details were bracing, but the delivery was oddly labored—as if Trump was speaking in a foreign language that he hadn’t quite mastered. Then, about 15 minutes into the speech, Trump veered from his scripted remarks. The teleprompter, which could be viewed from inside the convention hall, stopped rolling and Trump started riffing. He griped about his many indictments and the failed attempts to impeach him. He let slip a few of his favorite partisan epithets—“Crazy Nancy Pelosi,” “Deface the Nation.” Having returned to his usual derogatory style—and sounding much more natural as a result—Trump trained his attention on his opponent. www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/07/two-trumps/679108/

Not only that, they misspelled the name of the firefighter who was actually hit by the billet and died.

The fact remains that the man who lost his life unnecessarily is now nothing but a prop.

Indeed. It is sad that he will make everyone come out publicly. Party leaders have been trying to give him space to do the right thing.

After the pundits on the Sunday talk shows savage him, he'll be gone on Monday!

MAGA GOP cultists.
"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.
A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong.
And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want."
- Hannah Arendt
(14 October 1906 – 4 December 1975) Arendt was a German historian and philosopher.
The aim of totalitarian education has never been to instill convictions but to destroy the capacity to form any.
